Would you pay for friends?

Have you heard about this new member-only (yes, you have to pay to join) “club” where you can rent a friend for the day. Seriously. For a monthly membership (about $20) and an hourly rate to the “friend” you can have company for dinner, the movies, the water park through Rent-a-Friend.

As someone who believes friendships are organic and develop over time, the idea of “paying” someone to hang out with me just seems, I don’t know, pathetic.

But, if this is your thing, there are several “friends” available for rent in our area.
